[Lab] Beagle Bone Workshop Tomorrow night!

[Britta Evans-Fenton]

that is a pretty accurate description actually. It really is the gap filler
between arduino and Raspberry pi.

I know Darcy and I were looking into using BeagleBone when we were
initially working on the Bright Smile project together.  Due to time issues
I ended up using 4 arduinos and 4 computer (probably could have saved
myself some hardware if I went BeagleBone...)
